Switzerland-based Bobst has introduced its new vacuum metalliser, K5 Expert, for the packaging industry at the recently concluded K Show fare held in Germany.

The newly launched metalliser is equipped with automatic sequential control (ASC) as well as waste-reducing technical solutions and other technologies from Bobst.

Compared to other vacuum metallisers, K5 Expert provides a 25% lower total cost of ownership (TCO).

In addition, Bobst has also launched its new AluBond process, which provides high metal adhesion and surface energy levels.

“K being the major international show for the plastics industry we decided to make it an opportunity for flexible materials converters worldwide to enjoy an all-round BOBST experience."

BOBST business unit web-fed strategic products marketing director Federico D’Annunzio said: “K being the major international show for the plastics industry we decided to make it an opportunity for flexible materials converters worldwide to enjoy an all-round BOBST experience.

“Given the level of activity on the stand, and the number of visitors welcomed by our competence centres, it proved to be a winning proposition, especially with those converters travelling from afar.
